Remarkable Remarkable Golf Tours Lise a massive thank you to you and Remarkable Golf Tours. It was brilliant. We had a great time, seamless from beginning to finish. Excellent golf courses, prompt comfortable shuttles to and from the courses, and perfectly located well-appointed accommodation. All on tour were more than impressed. And thank you for organising our wine trip in the second leg. Tracey was a fantastic guide. If we come back to QT golfing, we will be in contact.

Great, very well organised golf tour of magnificent Queenstown We had a great experience with Remarkable Golf Tours. Lise was great in all the preplanning , very communicative and nothing was too much trouble. The actual trip worked a treat everything on time and if we requested any small changes they were met with "yes no problem". All the staff we encountered were excellent, shoutout to the very accomodating Tracy :) I would not hesitate to use Remarkable Golf Tours again

Fantastic experience, great company. Could not recommend the Remarkable’s CT highly enough. All transfers to and from the Airport, to and from all Golf Courses were excellent. All staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

Smooth Two couples. We had a great trip. Everything ran smoothly. The drivers were always on time and helpful. I was the group organiser and all it took was one phone call and a couple of emails.

Great Tour Operators Had a great time in Queenstown playing golf Jacks Point Millbrook Queenstown Golf Club and Cromwell. Remarkables Golf were fantastic, very accommodating and professional. Drivers were mostly chatty and informative. Overall great value for money considering how expensive Queenstown is getting as a golfing destination.

Perfection. Would definitely use again! Just back from a sensational golf trip with 16 guys to Queenstown. We used Remarkable Golf Tours for everything. They took care of the airport transfers, the accommodation, the Golf Course bookings, and recommended fantastic restaurants. Tim, Keith, Rae and their team were absolutely fantastic. Always on time and super friendly. They handled the banter of 16 Guys with ease and a sense of humour, highly recommend and would use them again when I definitely return to Queenstown. What an incredible place. Thank you to everyone, Trent.
